Google "nessacary." Yes, there are that many no-spelling assmonkeys in the world. They can't all be typos.

I can't help it! I read a lot, which means a whole bunch of time staring at the written word, for which I have perhaps undue reverence. I get worked up over these little things.

Don't even get me started on gangsta/hip-hop lit. Lordy, lordy.

I go back and correct spelling errors, but I dont think the blogging technology works well if you are 150% attention to detail. Sometimes I miss the slimey (SP!!!) suckers.

What I find interesting is spelling in marketing. For example kids who are learning to spell and see 'light' spelt as 'lite'. The Burger King down the road have a sea food basket of deeply fried sea creatures and spell calamari' as Kalamari. I wonder if this confuses the litle ones.
